Happy Mother’s Day Pumpkin! Beautiful Babehs!!

Bit of a thread jack here–Back at the pictures of the baby twin bears I said something about my son being at Marine Bootcamp and several of the wonderful peeps posted good luck messages to him. I told him about that in my last letter and yesterday I got a reply. Christopher wanted me to tell all of you who sent good wishes “Thank You” and it means alot to him to hear things like that especially from people he doesn’t even know. You are all Good Peeps!

Now back to your regularly scheduled Qte!

Awwwww, calico-kittehs! Everyone has little calico kittens except me! I keep running into people in real life with little calico kittens they are caring for and bottle feeding (well, only three, but that’s a lot).

I wanna be one of the cool kids who has a little calico kitten!

8 Christine H 05.12.08 at 7:25 am

Aww, calico babies!

9 Christine H 05.12.08 at 7:25 am

Oh, and I didn’t realize kittens were born with so much fluff!

*reaches for another but hand is slapped away by mama-paw*

13 Kar 05.12.08 at 7:58 am

That close up of that teeny, tiny nose is killing me.

14 Hila 05.12.08 at 8:46 am

I love how mommy is shielding the kittehs even with her tail… Her expression says, “Touch my babies, I scratch your eyeballs out. Kapisch?…”

15 Subhangi 05.12.08 at 9:21 am

Awwww, so pwecioush!

Also, since marmalades are usually the males and calicos the females (as far as I know) these kittehs are extra special!

16 Gail 05.12.08 at 9:23 am

@Martha in Washington: Thanks and glad to hear how your son’s doing!!!

What a resourceful Mommeh!! She gave herself her own Mommeh’s Day present!!!!

17 bookmonstercats 05.12.08 at 9:46 am

I’m trying to count calico-kitteh bits. Are there 4, or 5? How lovely.

18 Michelle 05.12.08 at 10:12 am

**melt**

19 kk3 05.12.08 at 10:50 am

Calico’s and marmalades are my two favorite kitteh colors. I do like marmies mixed with white patches too. Oh…but then you have the tuxedo kittehs…they are very cute too….oh I forgot about the siamese ones…I like them too…and the tabby flavors (brown, grey, silver….)…oh…and I also love the….

20 Bob 05.12.08 at 11:56 am

Two cute callies! And the marms!

Looks like these wee ones will be socialized like right now.

21 Nicolletta 05.12.08 at 12:10 pm

22 Theo 05.12.08 at 1:29 pm

23 rissu 05.12.08 at 1:31 pm

Oh wow, she looks just like my Meer, except her babies are all orange like her and their daddy.

24 momof2kitties 05.12.08 at 1:40 pm

Holy pa-sickies! This looks just like our Miss Mia’s litter! Three marmies & three cali’s, only teh mama was a cali, too. So sweet it makes my teeth hurt!

25 Kit 05.12.08 at 1:41 pm

What this mom doesn’t realize is that the next 8 weeks will be full of “Mom! He’s touching me!” and “I don’t want to take a nap yet! Moooom!” I hope all kitties pictured find nice homes.

26 Marianne 05.12.08 at 1:44 pm

my best friend’s cat had her first litter of kittens on mother’s day too! one of them will be mine when I get my new apartment. happy mother’s day!!!

27 Tiffay 05.12.08 at 1:55 pm

Please Fedex one to me overnight! So adorable. I just want to snuggle them to pieces.

28 fifi 05.12.08 at 1:58 pm

“Calgon, take me away!”

29 rissu 05.12.08 at 2:04 pm

two of the four in my Meer’s litter are female — yep pure marmie females!!

30 Vampy 05.12.08 at 2:13 pm

Words cannot express just how adorables this is.

31 KendraPT 05.12.08 at 2:44 pm

*squeal* Look at all the calicos! And all totally undiluted! I love calicos, just gave mine, Queen Patches, an 18th birthday party yesterday. Being a calico she declined to attend, but everyone got a look at her anyway. Happy Mom’s Day Queen Pumpkin!

32 Jorden 05.12.08 at 2:50 pm

Congratulations! Mum & babies all BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

33 ThreeCatNight 05.12.08 at 3:33 pm

Happy Mother’s Day, Queen Pumpkin! What a perfect gift! I love that little pink calico nosicle snuggled up next to you.
(I have Princess Pumpkin at home, myself, but alas, a mommy she’ll never be)

34 Fegli 05.12.08 at 4:05 pm

Love the look on momma’s face – like “yeah, I made these, they’re adorable, I know – now back off!”

Beautiful kittehs. <3

35 Ermine_Violin 05.12.08 at 5:42 pm

My doctor said I had to quit coming here before meals :( I am nomming too many pre-meal kitties and baby bunnies – at least their sugar free – ya know?

They taste like rainbows and fluffy white clouds!

36 Ermine_Violin 05.12.08 at 5:42 pm

they’re not their – :( dang nab 25 years out of schoolness.

37 Decca 05.12.08 at 5:44 pm

You can all envy me. Today is my shift at the animal shelter, taking care of abandoned kittens, not much bigger than these little guys. Yay! I get to spend the afternoon cuddling kitties. (And getting liquid kitty food all over my.) Life is good!

39 chanpon 05.12.08 at 10:17 pm

OMG, that little calico snuggled against mom’s leg is a killer. Overloading on cue.

40 Gina G. 05.13.08 at 12:01 am

This is my momma Queen Pumpkin. She birthed 4 beebees. One is her mini-me, two calicos, and one that was nearly all black. Daddy is a tuxedo. Sadly, the runt(all black) didn’t make it :( But all others are doing well! I’m glad she could bring you all some joy!

41 caroline 05.13.08 at 2:01 am

Gimme gimme calico!

42 Leslie 05.13.08 at 2:11 am

Not to bring down the mood in the room, and I hope it’s just shadow, but it looks like Queen P might have ear mites.

43 berthaservant 05.13.08 at 3:26 am

Today, I was saying to Bertha, “I think we need to get a new kitty.” Things have been tough around here, and I think a male marmie would REALLY cheer us all up. Plus, I’m in a house with four females (three kittehs and one human) and I need a male creature to play with!

Needless to say, THE PICS OF THE NEWBORNS are not helping this new obsessh.

44 Marie 05.13.08 at 8:51 am

Won’t be hard to identify papa, eh? :D

45 Babs 05.13.08 at 1:35 pm

BerthaS, I’ve got a male marmie for ya! He’s ornery, though.

46 jen 05.13.08 at 2:52 pm

so sweet!
i dont know the story behind the photo, but i hope when the time is right, momma gets spayed. too many unwanted adult kitties out there!

47 Andi 05.13.08 at 5:09 pm

I love kittens. So precious and wonderful and wobbly. If I were queen for a day, this would be the last, very last, litter of kittens in the world, and we would take as many pictures as needed to fulfill the QTE requirements of the planet, and no more litters (I typed “littlers”) would go into shelters or be destroyed for lack of caring homes.

Angel kitties. LONG LIVE THE INTERSPECIES SNORGLE!
…sorry, don’t know where that came from…

49 leannrose 05.13.08 at 5:48 pm

Aww…the calico bebbehs make me miss my baby back home (my 10-year old baby) Dot. She is a runt and is fairly small, but her fluff makes up for most of it. I need a kitteh to snorgle, stat!

50 Babs 05.13.08 at 6:08 pm

Um, Andi, you DO realize that if this were the very last litter ever, there would be no kittehs at all in about 25 years? Quel horreur!

51 Andi 05.13.08 at 8:18 pm

Babs: EEPS! ok, I need a new plan. As hypothetical queen for a day, I nominate you as my advisor.

52 spb 05.14.08 at 1:00 am

Ok, how ’bout if no more litters til we start to run out of kittehs, then a couple more litters?
